He's not broke - it's a joke.

I wasn't sure I had the patience to get through it once, but I was curious to know if he was really hard off.

I saw that further on in the thread someone says he's worth $25 million. I'm guessing that was something googled. I don't think those reports are incredibly reliable, but I don't think he's going to starve.....

I sat through this as I was curious. I didn’t get the sense he was broke, just wanted to find a way to independently fund this project.

It’s weird that he couldn’t find some company to supplement this, but maybe he just wanted full creative control.

I haven’t followed his most recent workouts, but I would be interested in this as I loved P90X and it sounds like he’s getting that crew back for this next series.

I’m not interested in a raffle, but I probably would have done a presale.

I heard his Next Level series is similar to P90X, but I haven't done it so I can't say. I don't do hour + workouts anymore so that doesn't appeal to me at this stage of life.

I don't really understand why someone of his stature would need to ask the public for money to fund a project. And if you pay the $25 for the raffle, do you still have to pay full price for it when it is released? Seems like you're paying twice in that case. I agree a presale would have been a better idea.

If he is worth 25M he can finance it himself!

I think the five-minute camera set-up should have been edited out. It was like an extended "grandpa moment." Not what you want when you are promoting the next big, bada$$ fitness thing.

Tony also mentions the equipment he has in the works for his set. That will add to the price. Plus, I think he sells shakes, too.

I will be interested to see how it all plays out.

Sorry, that was hard to watch! It was cheesy and like they were doing a hard sell! I would pay for a pre-sale if they had an outline of the program and it interested me.

Cathe and KCM do pre-sales all the time without being tacky!

They could also hire Greg Twombly to produce it!

Well, I can't say I've ever been a Tony Horton fan, but since I'm just hanging out here on VF for awhile, I thought I'd check out the youtube video. I didn't last 2 minutes .... Don't they know they can edit out that stuff ?!? LOL
